another one of Vancouver's jewels. A great place to watch the sunset. Excellent place to watch the ships sail out of the port of Vancouver. If you love great scenery, you won't be disappointed.

Lovely waterfront not too large a beach area but easy to rent kayaks close to the laughing statues which are across the street. This is in the upscale West End area and the seawall runs there all the way from False Creek. You can see a large Inukshuk there

Great place to stroll, during the day or evening. Lots of logs to sit on. Very photogenic at sunset with the moored ships and mountains as background. Lots of restaurants and other shops nearby. Great atmosphere.
